how do I escape the darkness
growing in my mind
how do I escape the darkness
growing in my heart

I'll lay down and leave it all behind
lay down and leave it all behind
I'll lay down and bite the bullet
lay down and bite the bullet

I'm standing on the edge of darkness
with the Reapers hand on my back
I'm falling from the edge of darkness
the angels never even had my back

the door stands wide open
as the darkness edges near
my silence screams her name
as darkness steals my breath away

how do I escape the darkness
growing in my mind
how do I escape the darkness
growing in my heart

winding through the halls
the light goes dim inside
hard to see through the dark
because the fire has died

through the darkness I can see
only silhouettes of life and death
as shadows stay here constantly
fear the darkest corners of the mind

my eyes plays tricks on me
is that really her that I see?
or just another delusional fantasy
her ghost remains to haunt me

trapped in a childish nightmare
it wasn't my fault she's gone
so why am I running scared
since the night that she died
